HUSTLE.PRAY.LOVE | Interview with Designer/Illustrator Asia Horton

So i finally got the chance to chop it with the so amazing Miss Asia Horton also known as Asiey Barbie, pretty much the girl is SO DOPE with these illustrations. She has done work for a few of your favorite celebs such as Nicki Minaj. Full Interview below

5K: So can you tell the readers about who you are and what your art represents?
Of course! My name is Asia, also known as "asieybarbie", and I am a freelance illustrator. My artwork represents me, what I love, and what I feel through my own personal style. I don't necessarily define and limit my artwork as one style: sometimes it's cartoony, sometimes realistic, other times just simplistic :-)

5K: How long have you been drawing and illustrating?
I've been drawing mostly all my life, but have been at it seriously for about 10+ years.


5K: So Nicki Minaj used your illustration as her itunes cover for her Hit Single "Your Love", how did that feel?
It felt so amazing, I was completely ecstatic! I honestly would have never thought that drawing in particular would represent a hit single. Especially when I thought no one would really see it when I uploaded it. When she called me personally to tell me she wanted it as the cover, I was just overjoyed!

5K: Ive seen some of your comic book illustrations, simply amazing. Do you plan on going further with that? i think that would honestly be cool!

Thank you so much! I definitely hope to go further with it. I actually have multiple comic roughs and sketches that I have lying around in my room, and hopefully I'll be able to get around to completing some soon and uploading them!

5K: Do you sell your illustrations and drawings just in case 5K readers want to support your craft?

Absolutely! I am always open for commission work, in which I can be contacted through e-mail for my art services. And also, I have some apparel of my work available for purchase at: http://www.redbubble.com/people/asieybarbie/

5K: How can supporters best contact you?
I can be best contacted through my e-mail, which is: asieybarbie@yahoo.com. Or my Twitter page, @asieybarbie.

5K: Any last words?
 I just want to thank everyone for their continued support in my artwork. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

[ Thank you so much for this interview, Fee! :-) ]
